Leeds pub surrounded by student flats forced to close as 'not enough go in' and prices rise

A once-popular Leeds pub will close this weekend due to rising prices and a drop in regulars.

The Highland, between Burley Road and Kirkstall Road, has decades of history and was a favoured haunt of students, real ale fans, as well as staff from nearby businesses including British Telecom and Yorkshire Post newspapers, formerly in Wellington Street, which was a short walk away.

Sadly, the last orders will be called this weekend as the pub is no longer 'sustainable' due to rising prices, according to pub manager Simon Pierce. He explained the situation in a post on social media.
